Beyond Gay

The Politics of Pride

"Before throwing Vancouver's 30th anniversary Gay Pride Festival, Parade Director Ken Coolen is on a mission to understand the role of Pride, and make it matter. He and his colleagues are traveling around the world to places where Pride is still steeped in protest to personally experience the real oppression that still exists. Their goal is to instill in Vancouver the relevance required to take their event beyond the typical gay pride parade. Pride is now a global fight for human rights." --Container.
